Swansea, the second largest city in Wales, is situated along Swansea Bay on the country's southern coast. Originally developed as a Viking trading post, the city evolved into an important industrial center during the Industrial Revolution, particularly known for its copper smelting which earned it the nickname "Copperopolis."
Today, Swansea is a vibrant cultural hub, home to various museums, galleries, and educational institutions including Swansea University. The city has strong literary connections, being the birthplace of the renowned poet Dylan Thomas, whose legacy is celebrated throughout the area. The city's cultural landscape reflects both its industrial heritage and its modern development, with a mix of historic sites and contemporary arts venues. The area's natural setting, between the maritime quarter and the Gower Peninsula, has also influenced its cultural development and artistic expression.
